***2012-13 NBA THREAD!!! New Season/New Thread - LET'S GO!!!!!***

Yeah, they're god awful.

Denver Nuggets, best home team in the NBA with a 10-1 record. 25 of their first 38 games were on the road, but they've got 25 of the next 35 at home.

So now that the league is fining for flopping how is it Blake still hasn't managed to get fined once? If he were a better actor or perhaps more subtle it would be easier to ignore but with stuff like that... Well at lest this time he was actually fouled before painfully exaggerating to a ridiculous degree. Earlier this season Griffin and Lee got into it about his flopping:

in fairness, that wasnt a flop. I thought it was at first, but his arm was grabbed. If you are jumping as high as Blake is in the air, and your arm gets grabbed, you will fall over like that




Blake grabbing his head is something I cannot explain tho, lol.

it's a flop. He grabbed him but Blake did the lion share of the spinning himself and it is, at least in my opinion, painfully obvious. I like that he also flings the ball and then clutches his head in an effort to further convince the refs that he's just been the victim of a flagrant foul.

Though its nothing new, I just read an interesting statement that should make every NBA fan shake their heads....

In the overtime win against the Mavericks, Lebron James and Dwayne Wade played a combined 86 minutes. Between the two of them, they had ZERO fouls called against them.

Between Dallas and miami, of the 19 total players that logged 5+ minutes of playing time, Lebron and Wade were the only two not called for a single foul. The other 17 players in the game all finished with at least one foul.

Blake jumps in the air in the explosive manner he always does. The guy grabs his arm and never lets go. That type of force plus that speed will lead to someone spinning in the air.

And I mentioned that Blake grabbed his head, that cannot be explained but it is a clear flagrant foul.

Now THIS is hilarious. Oh man the Clippers bench is ALWAYS doing this after big plays. Haha

[Mr. Sinister]

I think they've done everything on that bench but moonwalk.

Ahahahahahaha lol that was great

This year's MVP race has been interesting so far. I've got five candidates who seem worthy:

- LeBron
- Durant
- Kobe
- Carmelo
- CP3

I probably go with Durant if it ended today.

DPOY is going to be interesting too unless Dwight gets things turned around in time. If the season were over today I'd say it's between Paul George and Tim Duncan with Roy Hibbert and Joakim Noah right behind. Tony Allen is in the discussion. As is Blake Griffin oddly enough. What a transformation he's made.

um... DAMN!

JR Smith is going to get a max contract this summer.

Though its nothing new, I just read an interesting statement that should make every NBA fan shake their heads....

LeBron went six straight games without having a foul called against him.
